    Very rarely order steak in a restaurant I have to say, partly because of the unjustifiably extortionate prices but mostly because I generally dont order things that I could make just as well or better at home.

    ^^ agreed..
    Boss took me to a place in Limerick where they serve their steak speciality which is char grilled...wasn't too impressed with it as I don't like char grill.

    I prefer going to my local butcher "ribeye steak about 1.5 inches thick" that costs about a tenner and get the missus to cook it. Miles better :)

    A full chicken? Would take fecking hours.

    Na a bit of chicken tit which was seasoned with something or other.

    Whatever about cooking steak on a stone, I'd have thought cooking chicken yourself on a stone brought with it some inherent health risks.

    The whole concept is nonsense.

    I was in a Dublin cafe a few weeks back and I ordered a hot chocolate. I was brought a cup of hot milk and another cup of chocolate buttons. Not only that but the waiter then explained to me that I got to add the buttons myself in a tone that suggested it was going to be the best experience of my life and I was a very lucky boy
    That's hilarious

    Used to go to a place in Kinsealy. 2 starters, 2 steaks on stone and a bottle of wine for 30 quid all in. Excellent soakage for an evening of drinking. Now the wine was just okay but the food was always lovely. It's just a novelty thing I guess. Every mouthful was piping hot - and a free facial sauna thrown in :-) played havoc with my already frizzy hair though.

    Internet has ruined me. Facial just means something completely different.

    Never heard of this before, must be a big smoke thing.
    One thing for sure you would get away with none of that carry on around here.

    I eat the steak and put on a stone?

    Maybe eat the steak and then eat the stone as dessert.

    No that's not right.

    Generally speaking, stake on a stone is more of a problem for me. Very hard to keep the fence upright if the posts didn't go deep enough.

    If you move the stone you can use it as a mallet to drive the stake in deeper

    not if it's a great big stone buried down about a foot. Hitting the stake harder usually just splits it too..:mad:

    I haven't ever encountered this. Do they actually bring out a raw steak for you to cook yourself? How does the stone work, is it actually just a slab of slate that has been heated before hand, I cant imagine that would stay hot for long so i assume I'm missing something.

    Never heard of it myself. If I am expected to cook it myself then why would I bother my hole with something like this?

    I'm with the crowd that expects when paying money for a meal that said meal should be presented to me already cooked. What's next, being charged an extra fiver and expected to peel the carrots myself? Feck that.

    A bit more expensive to cook your own dinner instead of having it prepared by a professional?

    Bargain.

    Is it cooked on a limestone or granite stone? Just that I heard limestone leaves a faminey after-taste.

    You need to hit up a Korean restaurant sometime. You sit crosslegged on the floor, griddle in the middle of the table, they serve you up a bowl of kimchi and a tray of raw meat and, go your hardest.... :D

    Korean bbq is one of the things I'll miss most about this country when I leave in a few days.
